The NFL Draft 2025 is taking place at Lambeau Field and Titletown District in Green Bay on April 24-26. Fans will be able to watch the 257 players hear their names called in Rounds 1-7 live from the NFL Draft Theater, and attend the massive NFL Draft Experience football festival on the stadium’s Resch campus. To gain access to the draft site, fans must download the NFL OnePass app, which includes all the event information they’ll need, serves as a ticket through the gates and allows them to participate in any interactive games on-site.
The first round of the 2025 draft opened with a bang Thursday night, as the New York Giants moved up to select Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart with the 25th overall pick. The rest of the first round was filled with trades and pick swaps, resulting in all 32 teams owning their pick heading into Round 2.
Why they picked him: The Vikings have a need at defensive end after releasing Leonard Floyd and Javon Hargrave, but Williams isn’t an immediate answer. He’s a strong run defender with 6.5 sacks last season, and he has the versatility to play either end or tackle in the Vikings’ scheme.
The Titans have an obvious need at quarterback, but it’s not as pressing as their other needs on the defense. Ward is a smart, confident passer who has shown he can make plays when needed. He’ll fit well with new Tennessee coach Brian Callahan’s system.
